Don’t we all know the feeling when you want something sugary, something you can have with your coffee or in between… you go to the kitchen and start checking every cupboard in a search of something sweet and tasty… And don’t we all know the feeling when you realize there is nothing there?
If you know what I’m talking about, this recipe is for you!
There are no crazy expensive ingredients here. Most are cheap and easily available to make sure that everyone can afford it (including me:)) In addition, recipe is simple and easy to make.
This approach I try to follow in all my recipes. So if you like this one, you might want to check out the Sunflower Seed Nut Butter recipe and a 5 Step Vegan ‘Snickers’ Cake.
White Layer:
- 3 cups of desiccated coconut
- 1 tin of coconut cream
- 1/2 cup of coconut oil (make sure its in a liquid state)
Mix all the ingredients very fast using a food processor, a spoon or just your hands. Because desiccated coconut will immediately start to soak up the moisture you need to put all that into a dish you want to use for it and press the coconut mixture down as much as you can to remove all the air from it. It takes no more than 5 minutes to prepare it. Once you finish stick it in the fridge and move on to the white layer.
Black Layer:
- 4 cups of soaked dates (pour hot water over them and leave for 5 minutes)
- 3/4 cup of coconut oil (make sure its in a liquid state)
- 1/2 cocoa powder (can be less if you want)
- pinch of salt (if you want to)
This part is as fast as the previous one, but now you do need to use a food processor or a blender- I don’t have a food processor so I always use a blender, its just harder to clean it afterward. Put drained dates, liquid coconut, cocoa powder and optional salt to a food processor, mix it until smooth. Put the mixture over your coconut mixture and leave it in the fridge.
The hardest part of this recipe is that for best result you should leave it in the fridge for few hours before you start eating it… You than can cut it to a desired shape and leave
Enjoy a fast, simple, healthy, affordable, homemade, sweet snack 🙂
